Past generations managed without air conditioning – do I really need it? And how bad is it to use all this electricity for cooling in a warming world? If I leave my air conditioner off, I get too…

How Grid-Forming Inverters Transform Reliability of Energy Power Grids

Renewable energy is a solution the world needs, but this energy source is causing a lot of problems in the current electrical grid structure because it lacks rotational inertia. This makes the power grid unstable and unreliable if a large power plant goes offline. But this can change with grid-forming inverters, and here’s how. What […] The post How Grid-Forming Inverters Transform Reliability of Energy Power Grids appeared first on Coruzant Tec…
